I don’t want to tell anyone else what to do with his money.
This is a note to myself:
V/hat do you mean,
Walking around in Nylons without runs,
When Mac Arthur ne^s guns?
You’ve killed a lot of people, Scherf,
But what have you done
To hustle Adolph under the turf?
Oh! you bought som.e 10-cent stamps?
Well,'well.

Ah occasional dime _ .

You’d better fork over to your Uncle Sam,
Or you’ll be sitting in the Nazi stables
Writing publicity for Goebbels.
ANY POTS AND PANS TODAY?
Anthony Marino, 5, used the hawkers’ technique as he roamed
the streets of New York collecting pots and pans in the drive
for this vital war metal. Tony takes his job serious for he knows
that 7,700 of these pots and pans will provide enough scrap
aluminum to build an American pursuit ship for our fighting
men. You, too, can take part in this war job by rounding up
your old junk—scrap metal, rubber, rags, manila rope, burlap.
Then sell it to junk dealers . . . give it to charity . . . take it
yourself to the nearest coUection point or consult your local
Salvage Committee.
